# Breaking: #92502 - Make Extbase handle PSR-7 responses only

See [forge#92502](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/92502)

## Description

Extbase does no longer handle/return extbase responses whose api was defined by the
interface `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\ResponseInterface`. Instead, Extbase does create a `PSR-7`
compatible response object (see `\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface`) and passes
it back through the request handling stack.

Since `PSR-7` requires response objects to be immutable, it no longer makes sense to expose the response object
to the user via `TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController::$response`
and `TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ControllerContext->getResponse()`.

The following interface has been removed and is no longer usable:

-   `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\ResponseInterface`

The following class has been removed and is no longer usable:

-   `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Response`

## Impact

Since interface `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\ResponseInterface` and  class `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Response`
have been removed, they can no longer be used.

## Affected Installations

All installations that:

-   declared classes that implemented the interface `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\ResponseInterface`
-   instantiated or extended class `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Response`
-   accessed the request object through `TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController::$response` or `TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ControllerContext->getResponse()`

## Migration

To regain full control over the response object, a PSR-7 compatible response object SHOULD be created in the
controller action and returned instead of returning a string or void.

Example:

```php
public function listAction()
{
    // do your action stuff
    return $this->htmlResponse();
}
```

> [!NOTE]
> If no argument is given to `$this->htmlResponse()`, the current view
> is automatically rendered, and applied as content for the PSR-7 Response.
> For more information about this topic, please refer to the corresponding
> [changelog](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:deprecation-92784).

Further: Method `TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Response::addAdditionalHeaderData()`
had been used to add additional header data such as css or js to the global TypoScriptFrontendController.
This has to be done via `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Page\AssetCollector` now.
